Aids in the control of Sarcoptic mange

In addition to fipronil, which kills adult fleas, Frontline Plus contains an important addition: (S)-methoprene. Methoprene is an ingredient that kills flea eggs and larvae, which keeps ALL stages of fleas from developing and bothering your pets and your family, not just adult fleas. Methoprene mimics the juvenile growth hormone of fleas, keeping the larvae from molting and developing into more mature forms. Frontline Plus is long-lasting, fast acting flea and tick control you apply on the skin once monthly.

The fipronil in Frontline Plus spreads over the pet's body with the body oils killing 98-100% of the fleas or ticks within 24-48 hours, and controlling transmission of tick-borne disease, such as Lyme disease. It works by affecting the flea's or tick's nervous system, causing paralysis and death. Fipronil collects in the oils of the skin and hair follicles and then is released over time (up to 1 month) from the hair follicles onto the skin and hair. Aids in the control of Sarcoptic mange.

Please note: Due to limited availability of Frontline & Frontline Plus, it has become necessary for us to limit purchase quantities to (5) 12-packs, (10) 6-packs or (20) 3-packs of each item per order. Thank you for helping ensure Frontline remains available to more pets throughout flea & tick season. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Frontline® Plus for dogs and puppies over 8 weeks old. For dogs over 132 pounds use the appropriate combination.

Directions: To kill fleas and all stages of brown dog ticks, American dog ticks, lone star ticks and deer ticks (the major carrier of Lyme disease). Hold applicator upright and snap applicator tip away from face and body. Place applicator tip through dog's hair to the skin level between the shoulder blades. Squeeze applicator, applying entire contents in a single spot to the dog's skin. Avoid superficial application to the dog's hair. Only one applicator per treatment is needed.

Frequency of application: Research demonstrates that Frontline® Plus kills fleas up to three months and ticks for at least one month. A once monthly use is recommended where there is a high risk of reinfestation, if the pet has fleas, which may cause flea allergy dermatitis, or in situations where tick control is needed. When used monthly Frontline® Plus completely controls both flea and tick infestations. In areas with less severe flea infestations or in areas where ticks are not a threat, Frontline® Plus can be applied once every two to three months. Frontline® Plus remains effective even after bathing, water immersion, or exposure to sunlight. Avoid contact with treated area until dry. Do not reapply Frontline® Plus for 30 days.

Individual Sensitivities:
Some animals may be sensitive to ingredients in this product. Observe your pet following treatment. Sensitivities may occur after using ANY pesticide product on pets. Please read entire manufacturer’s insert prior to using product. Approved for use in breeding, pregnant, or nursing animals. Consult with veterinarian before using on sick, medicated or aged animals.

Fipronil, an active ingredient of FRONTLINE, works by blocking stabilizing ions in the neurons of invertebrates like fleas. Without the stabilizing ions, the fleas die from hyperstimulation. This means that the fleas may become slightly more active just before they die. However, you should rest assure that this is a sign that FRONTLINE is working.

I treated my dog with FRONTLINE, but I still see fleas in my home. Why?

A.

The fleas you see may have hatched from flea eggs that were laid before you began using FRONTLINE for dogs. Regular application of FRONTLINE flea and tick protection to your dog will break the flea's life cycle.

An adult flea must be present on your dog for at least 24 to 36 hours before it can lay eggs. Research indicates that FRONTLINE will kill your dog's fleas within 24 hours of application--before the fleas can lay eggs.

FRONTLINE Plus is a convenient once-a-month topical product offering the longest-lasting, most complete protection against adult fleas, flea eggs and larvae, and all four major species of ticks. FRONTLINE Top Spot provides fast-acting, long-lasting flea and tick control for dogs. Ask your veterinarian which FRONTLINE product is the best choice for your dog.

Great product
This does exactly what it says it does and I haven't had an issue with it. I get Frontline for my dog and cat. I've tried the other major brand and they still had fleas. Thanks Doctors Foster and Smith for carrying this!
July 22, 2015

It works
Easy to apply, it works, no irritation.
Don't know why FosterSmith rejected this review as too short. I thought "Easy to apply, it works, no irritation." said it all. Next time I won't bother with the review.

Quality of Product
I am thankful for the Quality of the Product, the Price and the Shipping and short delivery time.
Keep up the Good Work.
Thank You

To my knowledge they are all made in France by Merial. You need to be careful purchasing online to make sure you do not get counterfeit products. Thus, why with all the fake products out there and horror stories, I sacrifice the few extra bucks to buy from a reputable source (eg. Foster and Smith). There are multiple guides online how to tell real products from fake products, but my recommendation is buy from a known company.

It says on the box....made in France, Merial Limited, Deluth, Ga. I have been ordering this from Fosters & Smith for many yrs now and have never had a problem. I think If you just order from a trusted site like F & S you will be fine. I wouldn't buy it from questionable sources such as on eBay or at flea markets, etc. It could be outdated. Hope this helps you.

Thank you for your question. The Frontline Plus is made in France. All Frontline products are made in France but the labeling is different for each country. The Frontline Plus we sell is packaged for sale in the United States. cjm

I wash my dogs, wait for them to dry and apply the Frontline. The directions on the package tell you more about it. I wait a week after applying the Frontline, to give a bath, if I haven't given a bath before. It is water-proof.

A. FRONTLINE Plus remains effective for 30 days, even if your pet swims or is bathed. After application, keep your pet from getting wet for 24 hours. If FRONTLINE Plus is to be applied after a bath, make sure your pet is completely dry before application.

I don't know the "official" answer, but I, personally, bath my dog and put it on after she is completely dry, or the next day. If I find she needs a bath after I put it on her, I try to wait at least a week after I put it on her. Hopefully I am not totally off base with this. It probably says in the directions.

Yes, but it doesn't give100% protection.I take extra precaution and also use a special essential oil blend I make. I put it on my dog and myself everytime we go out.I live in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn where people 'wouldn't think they are ticks' and before I started using the oil I used to find a tick in my apt about every other day since the end of April - May...Ticks are everywhere; everywhere there are: trees, grass, birds etc.You must protect your pets and yourself!Geranium Rose essential oil is a great tick (and other bugs) repellant. (must be diluted)I find that using both the frontline and the oil blend works best together and gives about 100% protection.I wish I didn't need to use 'chemicals' on my dog but it's better than having Lyme Disease!I have Lyme disease, it's a horrible disease and very hard to impossible to treat. If not caught within 24-36 hours of the tick bite (which hardly ever happens) u can probably get rid of it! THIS INFO IS RELEVANT TO HUMANS. From what I understand it's much easier to treat in dogs; but still, u may not be aware your dog is sick until the disease has already caused damage...Bottom line --- You must protect your pet and yourself!

Yes. Our dogs crash through forest lands for weeks May-Oct, and never a tick of any kind. Our mountain property supports many White Tail deer, and there are many bedding areas on our property which the hounds cross into. So far in 15 years, no deer ticks, no ticks of any kind. I'm not sure deer ticks would jump a dog, but our dogs are protected regardless.

Can this product be squirted a little at a time on the teeth of a pin brush or rake and then be applied to areas down the back of my Rottie until the entire dosage is used. He's a rescue and will probably not be receptive to a strange applicator being placed on his back but loves to be brushed. Thanks.

Answer:

No. Entire contents needs to be placed between shoulder blades. Only takes a few seconds to empty applicator. Have a treat ready. My dogs recognize the vial and know to be still and will get treat. Easier if one persons helps pet and the other apply.

The package directions say to locate the entire vial of product in one spot, at the same time, between the shoulder blades by the neck ON THE SKIN. You cannot apply the product via a rake into the fur as you are proposing. It takes 10 seconds. Give him a treat before and after.

I have 2 rescues and there is so little to put on th (barely a teaspoon full.) I pet the dog while I apply and give a treat or put it on his back while he is eating. Do it while brushing him and it will only take a second.

I have never tried placing the product on a rake or pin brush, but if the Frontline is getting to the skin it should be effective. The concern I have is the dog is not suppose to lick the Frontline. For my larger dogs ( 75 plus), I apply a small amount in the arm pit area of each front leg while I am scratching their belly. I separate the hair on their back just below the collar and put a two inch line of the flea treatment across the dog directly on the skin. I repeat this further down the back a couple of inches before the base of the tail. Hope this helps.

I think to get the full benefit of the dose it should be applied all at once. If possible have someone hold your Rottie's collar offering treats and talking to him while you put the full dosage between his shoulder blades. Most likely he'll be paying attention to the treats rather than you putting the Frontline dosage on.

yesterday she was groomed and it was applied after she was dry, a lot of it got on her hair (she is short haired) and later it was pouring rain and she had to go out in the rain. I am wondering if she is protected. Can a staff person answer.

I worked at Merial for about a year and during that time, I gained a great deal of knowledge about what works and what does not work. Unless the dog goes swimming , you do not need to worry about the pup doing outside to “do its duty” even after Frontline Plus has just been applied the same day.
